I don't know what will happen in the BTS side to avoid this in the future - but
we'll add a check on the britney side to abort if the RC bug list looks
suspiciously small.

We thought about rolling back to the previous state, but that means testing
users who have already upgraded would need to manually downgrade... which is not
good.
So we may just wait for the auto-removal hinter to do its job for
non-key-packages, and for the rest to be fixed or manually downgraded, or
whatever other solution...
